    i wish the plane on the treadmill would crash and burn into this thread.

    of course it would be after it had liftoff.

    how fast is the tread mill going? is the plane moving onto the tread mill while is already moving? or is the plane and the tread mill 'powering up' at the same time?

    It will be 5 lug soon enough. The real giveaway was the steering wheel is still on the left.

    The treadmill is moving the exact same speed as the plane, if the plane isn't moving forward then the treadmill isn't going anywhere either...as the plane's engines creates thrust propelling the plane forward the treadmill speeds up...




    The result? The wheels spin twice as fast as the plane is going but the treadmill has no effect on the forward motion of the plane.

    Everyone knows the pilot will escape doom. It's in the script. Unless the pilot is the bad guy.

    So it was precalculated that xx lb of thrust = xx mph? The wheels will explode.

    Planes come in for a landing faster than they take off, it has nothing to do with bearings or friction loss in the wheels or whether the wheels can withstand a higher rate of speed. Can the goddamn plane propel itself forward on a conveyor belt in reverse? The answer is yes, there is nothing preventing it from moving forward, gaining speed, and taking off just like any other runway.

    well, if the plane has vtech it can do anything it wants... or at least it will try...... kinda like most idiot Honduh owners. That, or if you feed the engines the souls of eleventeen thousand children...because thats the only thing that can overpower the directional scrub radius friction of the traction circle. See? I am right again.

    The best way to look at this is to imagine the plane is hovering above the treadmill since the wheels are free spinning(no friction). Even if the treadmill was moving and the plane had no thrust, it wouldn't move.(it would in real life because there is no such thing as 0 friction)

    Disclamer - yes i voted no before really thinking about the question

    So wait... you're saying that if the plane's engines were off it would sink? man.. .that sucks.

    What about if the pilot is the bad guy but the passengers are the good guys?? LOL

    Will the plane will break in half?

    Yes, but not quite in half. The cockpit will break off and go over the waterfall to meet Davey Jones, while the body of the plane (which is bigger) will get hung up on the rocks at the waterfall's edge. Giving the hero just enough time to rescue everyone and ~plot twist~ have a final showdown the the mastermind behind the entire thing

    But you can't imagine it like that, because the plane is not a hovercraft. It is also not suspended by wires over the treadmill, but resting on the wheels, creating weight. And Mass. Therefore the wheels, plane, thrust all create mass.. and that mass creates speed. E=MC 2. If the threadmill (E) matches the speed of the mass (MC2) it won't go anywhere (won't get wind beneath the wings.... cause he is not the hero... flyy flyyyyy flyyyyy away so high, so high I almost touch the sky... thank you.. thank you for being the wind beneath my wings....)

    The body gets hung up on the rock, while the hero is able to make a lasso out of snakes (on the plane). He is able to use this to pull himself to the shore. Then uses more snakes to create a rope-bridge for the passengers to safety. While the bad guy, from the depths of the waterfall cries out.. "Damn you ! Damn you dirty ape !!"

    just give up you fucking morons.

    to sum all this up, the answer is NO -- the plane will NOT fly.

    In order for ANY LIFT to be created with a plane, there needs to be MOVING AIR passing under the plane's wings involved in the equation, which obviously isn't there.

    /thread.

    now stfu.

    What's preventing the plane from moving forward, gaining speed, and creating lift?

    It's the same principle on why a spacecraft could get to the edge of a black hole, and not fall in (in essence keep orbiting it) but once he crosses the threshold, there is no escaping, no matter how much thrust / boosters he fires away. He will fall in slowly, then gradually faster, until he reaches event horizon.

    You'd have to accept the principle that there will be a 'border' or edge where the aircraft's thrust matches the black hole's pull. If you accept that there could be a force which equals the force of the craft, then you'd have to accept that it is possible for the craft to stay stationary..... until it runs out of fuel. If it had unlimited fuel, it would just stay stationary forever.....
